When Engels and I first joined the secret Communist Society we made it a condition that everything tending to encourage superstitious Belief in authority was to be removed from the statutes." # Communism and Socialism # Superstition # Friends and Friendship

  John N Gray: "Knowledge grows, but human beings remain much the same. Belief in progress is a relic of the Christian view of history as a universal narrative, and an intellectually rigorous atheism would start by questioning it." # Atheism # Knowledge # Christians and Christianity
